Someone whispered back, "What's the connection? The dark-skinned girl is Liu Qiushi, the eldest daughter of Grand Minister of Agriculture Liu Kuo. Her nickname is Black Pot Ash. I've seen her many times."

"Then, the tall and strong woman at the back is the Princess of Qinghe County?" She is a country woman, doing rough and heavy labor all year round, which has made her body tall and strong.

"That shouldn't be the case. The tall and strong woman looks like a guard. Besides, why would the county lady follow behind her?"

"So, the woman with fair skin and beautiful looks is the Princess of Qinghe County?" someone was surprised.

The other party nodded blankly, "It should be."

"No way? How is that possible!" Where is the country woman you were supposed to be? Where is the ugly and vulgar one you were supposed to be?

How can a peasant woman look like this!

Liang Yueru walked over from the crowd of young girls. She had a smile on her face and behaved in a well-mannered manner, a typical lady from a noble family.

"Welcome Miss Liu," Liang Yueru first gave Liu Qiu a greeting as an equal, then turned her gaze to Gu Qinghuai and said with a smile, "You are the Princess of Qinghe County, right? I never thought you were so beautiful!"

Gu Qinghuai also smiled and said, "Miss Liang, you are too kind. Miss Liang is a real beauty."

Liang Yueru still had a decent smile on her face, even though it didn't reach her eyes: "Princess Qinghe and Miss Liu can take their seats according to their names, or walk around the garden. The banquet will start in half an hour."

"Okay, thank you Miss Liang," Gu Qinghuai smiled politely.

After Liang Yueru left, many people at the scene still looked at Gu Qinghuai, including the men's seat next to him.

There are two areas for men and women, separated by only a row of potted plants. Through the criss-crossing branches of the potted plants, they can still see each other.

Zhou Duowen, oh no, Xiao Duowen, who was sitting in the men's seat, looked at Gu Qinghuai with surprise.

Gu Qinghuai has now transformed into a completely different person than before, and is breathtakingly beautiful.

Only after seeing Gu Qinghuai appear at the Jiji Banquet where only the upper class were qualified to attend, did Xiao Duowen truly believe that the Princess of Qinghe County was Gu Qinghuai.

Gu Qinghuai did not see Xiao Duowen sitting next to her. Neither she nor Liu Qiushi were interested in making friends with anyone, so they found their seats and sat down.

Gu Qinghuai glanced at the female guests and found that Shu Linglong was also there.

At this time, she was chatting with a few young girls who looked like young ladies. While chatting, they glanced at her from time to time.

That look was gloomy.

The girls who were chatting with Shu Linglong all looked at Gu Qinghuai with sarcasm on their faces.

It's easy to tell that Shu Linglong was saying bad things about her to those girls.

Gu Qinghuai didn't even give her a glance, his eyes still searching the crowd, wondering if there were any members of the Yan family among the guests.

Just as Gu Qinghuai was thinking this, a voice came from the gate of the courtyard, "Miss Yan Yudie and Miss Yan Xixue from the Yan family have arrived."

Gu Qinghuai immediately looked towards the direction of the garden gate and saw a girl of about sixteen or seventeen in purple and a girl of about thirteen or fourteen in pink walking slowly towards them.

The girl in purple had a pretty long face, thin eyebrows and big eyes. She was Yan Yudie, the daughter of Prime Minister Yan.

In order to understand Princess Leyang's living conditions, Gu Qinghuai specially obtained some information about the Yan family.

What surprised her was that Yan Yudie was already seventeen years old and still unmarried.

There are very few famous ladies in Daxia who are not engaged at the age of fifteen. Why is this the case with Yan Yudie?

The girl in pink must be the illegitimate daughter of the Yan family, fourteen-year-old Yan Xixue.

Yan Yudie looks gentle and kind, I wonder how she feels about Princess Leyang, her third sister-in-law.

The crown prince rebelled, Queen Wei was given poisoned wine, and the Duke of Wei was executed along with his entire clan. These events combined would surely put Qi Leyang, the only survivor, in a difficult situation.

"The Third Prince and Concubine Chang are here!"

Gu Qinghuai immediately looked over in the direction of the sound.

The third prince Qi Yuanyu was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and was approximately 1.75 to 1.8 meters tall.

He has fair skin and three-dimensional features, and his face looks a little gentle because he has a pair of innocent eyes.

Chang Ziqi, who was standing beside him, had a somewhat cold expression on her face, and seemed not to be very interested in today's banquet.

No wonder, many people said that the position of the third prince's wife was left to his cousin Liang Yueru, and Chang Ziqi would have to be inferior to Liang Yueru in the future, so it would be strange for her to be happy.

Gu Qinghuai suddenly remembered Chang Ziyan, whom Qi Yuanshuo had mentioned. Her personality should be very different from that of this cousin.

After the Third Prince talked to Liang Yueru for a few words, his gaze actually shifted to Gu Qinghuai.

The moment he saw Gu Qinghuai, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

Isn't it said that the Princess of Qinghe County is a widowed country woman? How can she be so young and beautiful?!

Chang Ziqi also looked incredulous.

The village woman who spoke ill of his second uncle in front of Prince Yi actually looked like this!

No wonder Prince Yi wanted to vent his anger for her.

The third prince and Chang Ziqi actually walked towards Gu Qinghuai.

Gu Qinghuai and Liu Qiushi both stood up and saluted to the third prince.

The third prince looked at Gu Qinghuai and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Princess Qinghe to be so young and beautiful. No wonder my uncle tried his best to protect you in the court."

"Yes, Princess Qinghe said a few gossips and the young uncle wrote a book to vent his anger on her behalf. He is really a man who is willing to risk his life for the love of his woman." Chang Ziqi said sarcastically.

Gu Qinghuai was slightly stunned.

The words of these two people are poisonous!

What a big hole he dug for her!

As expected, everyone at the scene looked at her with interest, with gossip burning in their eyes.

Gu Qinghuai smiled faintly and raised his voice, "Prince Yi tried his best to protect this county lady in the court because Prince Yi has the people in his heart and Daxia in his mind! The food donated by this county lady can prevent the people of Daxia from starving, which is a great merit that will benefit generations to come!

However, some power-hungry villains tried their best to engage in factional struggles, not caring about the lives of the people, and attempted to block Daxia from making suggestions and offering treasures. Therefore, Prince Yi argued with reason.

If you think that Prince Yi made such a fuss just because of a woman with outstanding appearance, you are looking down on Prince Yi too much.

We are both children of the royal family, so why is there such a huge difference in our vision and moral character?"

"How dare you!" Chang Ziqi's face was distorted with anger. She raised her hand and was about to slap Gu Qinghuai, but as soon as her hand was raised, it was grabbed by Gu Qinghuai.

Chang Ziqi was furious, "You! How dare you be so rude to this concubine!"

Gu Qinghuai smiled coldly: "You also know that you are a concubine? A concubine, to put it bluntly, is just a concubine! This county lady is a second-rank county lady appointed by the emperor himself! It is an upright title! You are so arrogant in front of the county lady, do you think you are the imperial concubine now? Do you still have the emperor in your eyes? "

As soon as these words were spoken, Chang Ziqi, the Third Prince, and everyone else present changed their expressions.

A hint of coldness flashed across the third prince's eyes, and he said sarcastically: "The Princess of Qinghe County is really good at putting accusations on people and throwing dirty water on them."

"This county lady's ability is far inferior to yours. Prince Yi is a pure prince, but you can slander him at will. You are the masters of throwing dirty water. This county lady just drew the conclusion based on the phenomenon, and what she said was based on facts," Gu Qinghuai chuckled.
